Now. Mr. Speaker. every man knows that the vast majority of the people of the United States demand further restriction of immigration. We are their representatives. and if we do not do something in that line. we fail in our duty as such representatives. For my own State of California. I can say that nine out of ten of all the people are in favor of further restriction of immigration. in favor of a far more stringent bill than this. and if this bill fails to satisfy them it will be because it does not go far enough. I remind gentlemen upon this side of the House that this is not a new question. that it has been discussed for years. and you know. gentlemen. that the people demand some legislation of this kind at your hands and will hold you responsible if you do not accord it to them.
